what is gullet cancer?

Q:

A: Its oesophagal cancer – the tube that carries food into the stomach. My mum sadly died of this cancer. It begins with a feeling of food being stuck in the throat which makes the person vomit – obviously weight loss is fast and dramatic in most cases. Tests are done via passing a camera into the stomach which can then find the cancer and do a biopsy. Treatment to relieve the initial problem can be either stretching the oesophagus and sometimes inserting a stent – depending on how advanced it is. Sometimes an operation can be done to remove the tumour again dependant on size etc. Most commonly chemotherapy treatment is given and although I said my mum died of this – at that time combined chemo was in experimental stages and has since advanced to a stage where many more people survive this cancer. Stay positive is the key and rest during chemo. xxxxx

A: Im so sorry to hear about your sad news about your grandpa. I recently lost my stepdad to cancer and I was pregnant at the time. I prayed and prayed that he would make it long enough to see my baby because he loved my first son so much I knew he would love this baby to. But the true reality is we never no when it comes to cancer when someone will pass no matter what a doctor says. I defiantly found that out with my dad. The only advice I can tell you is to let your grandpa know every single day how much you love him and how happy he has made you in your life. And just in case show him pictures of you and your boyfriend together to let him know how happy you are and what a wonderful person your boyfriend is. I feel really bad for you and I feel your pain. And what helped me through the passing of my dad before he could see my beautiful baby is that I knew he would be watching over us in heaven. I hope I have helped.
